Southwest Autism Research & Resource Center (SARRC) is excited to announce Jennifer Burwell in a new role as its Vice President of Operations.
Burwell comes to SARRC with 20 years of experience in business operations and organizational leadership, with an emphasized background in real estate, including residential properties, multifamily housing, industrial space, and office buildings.
As Vice President of Operations, Burwell oversees all operations of the organization including human resources, information technology, facilities, client experiences, and general administrative services.
Burwell shares, “Joining the SARRC team feels like a homecoming to me, returning to nonprofit, mission-driven work. Nonprofit work is where I started my leadership journey and feels like an important place to be at this stage of my career. I am excited to contribute my skills and help SARRC achieve its mission of providing access to meaningful services to every Arizonan.”
Burwell has held executive roles at MAC6, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, and most recently at Mother & Founder, a company she founded from her passion to help women grow purpose-driven businesses and heal from trauma.
“Jennifer’s impressive background directly aligns with SARRC’s strategic plan, and our goals now, as well as in the future,” says Daniel Openden, PhD, BCBA-D, SARRC President & CEO. “Her distinct expertise and experience allow us to further develop and support key SARRC programs as well as move the needle forward with our statewide expansion plans.”
